I maybe able to help you but you need to clearly tell me again.

Are these reading temps at 2 separate tstats or are you using temp sensors that send the temp back to the stat. It sounds like the sensor is not communicating with the stat. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

Need model. Number or name. E4 is several different codes for carrier. Likely a temp sensor from what I'm seeing. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

what are you talking about. Turn the thermostat back up. It shouldn't matter what you set the thermostat too because it is just a switch that tells the temperature.

its a 3 ton unit manufactured in 2005 
the 36 in the model number indicates tonnage 12,000 btu's to a ton times 3 equals 36
the 2005 in the serial indicates year made not sure what month but if i had to guess i'd say May of '05
Thanks Peyton

if you look inside the condenser unit outside,see if you see the big reversing valve,if not it is a straight cool,heat, the heat strip ins in the air handler so you would have to take the side panel off and look for the heat stripe,my the way heat pumps also have a aux.heat stripe just in case it does not get cold enough outside,hope this helps you-mike

Have you checked to see if the fan motor is getting hot. Sometimes a system will shut down if the fan motor is causing the reset fuse to break the circuit due to heat. If that is the problem just a replacement of the motor will usually fix the problem.

3 1/2 ton

3 1/2 ton unit the 042 tells me.

A 3.5-ton Carrier CK....OK the run capacitor will be a 370 volt variety, likely 20 bucks tops....given that this is SINGLE capacitor dedicated to the compressor ONLY. A BIT more if (as is likely) it is a 3-terminal compressor/condenser motor capacitor. I assume you mean 'contactor' and this toy should be another $30+/- $5. (Hopefully the diagnosis you got was correct!) That aside, MOST folks in the residential realm use some sort of "flat-rate" system. Replacing the capacitor is ONE job and the contactor is another. If this is a commercial property (OR if you are aligned with a commercial entity), look for a contractor that will make the repair on a "time and materials" basis. One trip, 2 parts...time element should be MINIMAL. Good luck!
